About Perm SMU
Perm State Medical University was founded in 1916, making it one of the older medical universities in Russia. Located in Perm, a major city at the foothills of the Ural mountains on the Kama River, the university has a strong medical tradition and has been training students from across Russia and internationally for over a century. Its long history is reflected in well-established departments and experienced faculty across all medical disciplines.
The 6-year MBBS programme at Perm SMU is conducted in English for international students. The curriculum covers pre-clinical sciences comprehensively in Years 1–3, with clinical rotations beginning at affiliated Perm hospitals from Year 3. Perm's status as a major regional city ensures students have access to well-equipped hospitals and a diverse range of clinical cases.
Perm State Medical University is listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools, the register ECFMG and FAIMER also draw on. NMC approves no foreign university. The combination of over a century of medical education history, affordable tuition, WDOMS listing, and the attractive city of Perm makes this university a solid and well-rounded option for Indian MBBS students.
Perm sends one of the largest Russian cohorts to FMGE - 944 candidates appeared in the 2024 report alone, of whom 295 passed (31.25%, against a 25.80% national average) - and a denominator that size makes its rate one of the more stable in Russia. Fees are equally checkable: the university's order No. 2-280526-osn of 28.05.2026 prices 2026-27 General Medicine for foreign students at 390,000 roubles on the English intermediary-language track. One practical note: the official domain is psmu.ru (the older psma.ru forwards there), and the World Directory entry spells the patron's name Wagner - the Vagner spelling on Indian sites is the same university.
